Police can't become preoccupied with chasing numbers, says Chief Constable

Tue, 02 Jul 2013

Chief Constable Gary Roberts has said he is trying to steer the constabulary away from a culture of chasing statistics.

The annual Chief Constable’s report will be laid before Tynwald this month.

It reveals very positive crime reduction numbers, with continued downward trends; this however should not become the main priority, says the Chief Constable.

Mr Roberts says the focus should always be policing for the people.
